Sandy from the South Shore Long Island - Just got power & Internet back. Here's the REAL DEAL

guess you should have just prepared even slightly.

It is really not bad. At all.

Fill up. Drive West.

Are you 5 years old with name calling? Guess so. Get your facts straight. If you think insurance covers water damage from a hurricane, I have a bridge I can sell you. And tell the hundereds of people who lost their homes to the sea to go back 50 years and rebuild with concrete. Yea, I am dealing with a 5 year old. I'll go warm your baba now.

I am definitely looking into a propane conversion kit for my generator after this.

Fill up. Drive West.

I made a thread explaining why this storm couldn't just be a coincidence. It is pure common sense....something you can ask yourself and almost feel. It will take you at least 5 mins to read through. You responded to my post barely seconds after posting without even opening the thread asking me if I want to look stupid..

Thread: Sandy Staged to push Global Warming Fraud - Obama's unprecedented response is the clue.

If you did open the thread and read through I am sure you might be the one that might look stupid for believing that this storm was purely coincidental.

And if it was the word "manufactured" that got to you, well I meant it was controlled and stirred perhaps even created.

OP, I am glad that you are safe. Your message about being prepared, but not seeing the gas shortage coming is clear.
I thank you for posting this thread, which is invaluable to the rest of us Preppers. I have a few straight up questions. Please do not take offense.
1) Are Silver coins of any value to you in this situation?
2) Are your neighbors prepared in anyway at all?
3) Do you know that another storm is coming on Wednesday?
4) Is there anything that I or we GLP can do to help you?
5) Do you have any idea as to why the people in NYC were so unprepared?
Thank you in advance for your response.
I am now praying for you and your family too.

THANK YOU - THIS ^^^

So many people on this board have been laughing at the people put out by Sandy, but they miss the point that if a flood washes your shit away it doesn't matter whether you prepped or not. People with generators ran out of gas and their solar panels blew off the roof. Yes how dare these people not all live in steel fortresses built into the side of a mountain with private nuclear reactors.

The extent to which people are trashing those displaced and without power makes me sick. We've fallen so far to be at the point people have a just let them rot attitude. Jesus.

There are laws preventing you from building concrete homes, so that you cannot safeguard your home.

I refuse to waste my time on such nonsense.

We have been cut off, out of the loop for days not knowing anything but what the local media on the radio had reported. Even getting power back we still have no TV. I just got Internet.

The damage in my town and the towns surrounding me is moderate to severe. Flooding is horrible and no one had power. But we survived and lucky to have more than most elsewhere.

Water is unusable and sewage treatment plants are down left and right. THE WATER SMELLS OF CHLORINE - SUPER STRONG!

Gas/food/supplies:
it is near impossible to get. On a normal day I travel 70 miles a day into Nassau County and points in between. I quickly ran out of fuel and still find it impossible to get gas. I refuse to play into this panic and wait online 3-4-5-6++ hours just to get $40 of $4.89 gas.

Everyone wants a generator. All over the radio talk about them here or there. No gas but run out and buy that generator.

Food stores are hit or miss. I really feel this is the next big crisis. No deliveries are getting in. Twice now I have gone out to restock the fridge with new food and found foul milk being sold at King Kullen and Stop & Shop!

Controlled Chaos:
The politicians are making things worse. Media is hand in hand creating panic. All day long on local stations all they have is folks calling in reporting who has and who has no gas. I'm sure you hear the stories. People lines up hours waiting at a closed station for some delivery that may or may not arrive.

For example, Governor Cuomo in all his infinite wisdom announces 10 gallons of free fuel in mobile stations parked in western regions of the affected area. Lines form and quickly they tell everyone its for EMS vehicles only. Mayor Bloomberg holds a news conference an hour later telling people to go get the free gas if they need it.

Employment:
Most everyone I know couldn't get to work on Friday. No gas. My job laid everyone off on Friday afternoon for all of next week. Calling it a work furlow just so you can't claim unemployment! So now people need to worry how the hell they are supposed to feed their family losing close to 2 weeks pay.

Look it's bad. Worst I've ever seen. Worse than Gloria back in the 80's and much much worse than the 70's gas crisis. Back then it wasn't chaos. IT IS COMPLETE CHAOS.

I have seen fights in the streets. Accidents and cars broken down on the side of the road no gas. Flooding came far inland, trees and power lines down all over. LIPA can not tell us when the power will be restored fully and the whole situation is about to boil over into a full scale breakdown of society.

I can see how they control the chaos. Slowly ratcheting it up and now whipping it up into a full scale frenzy.

I know this is normal for a crisis such as this but hold on folks. I see it getting much worse yet! This was more than a "Hybrid Storm". It was the start of it all! I am sure of it.

Just needed to vent and let you guys know what I see.

Is propane (the portable tanks) available in this storm? Just asking.

All the people with propane generators around here have the big ones that hook to their large propane tanks which they also use for cooking fuel, that are routinely refilled by the propane company.

the longer you let the water sit in an open pitcher , the more the chlorine will evaporate out

I did prepare. More than most. I am an avid GLP'r. I have supplies. Honestly I didn't see the gas thing coming. I'm not going to power a generator just so my wife and kid can have a night light.

What I am seeing is it is bad ad getting worse for a bunch of people. It could have been avoided - but I really see TPTB seem to want this.

I just lost confidence in you, DF.

I'm in the affected area, and this was one extremely weird storm.

How on earth could it have been prevented??? If you know how to prevent storms and floods you are working the wrong job.

I'll tell you how it could of been prevented Fox.....

Get rid of the Sea-based X-band Radar, that's how!!

Prepping FUTILE

That is quite possibly the dumbest thing ever said on GLP.
Prepping is a no brainer. Especially if you have advance notice that a storm is coming. I've been through my share of storms living in Florida. Ivan was a cat 3/cat 4 with over a 16 foot surge so no one say I haven't dealt with anything like Sandy.
I warned friends and family living in Jersey and in New York. Most blew me off or said they were prepping but their idea of prepping is so much different than those that have gone through bad storms before. I stressed they gas up and buy extra gas containers. Most didn't listen. I told them we're told to have at least 3 days of preps but I always keep at least 2 weeks worth in trunks ready to go with me if I'm forced out of my home for any reason. Again, they thought it was overkill.

Thankfully They all survived the storm and are doing OK. They're constantly complaining about the gas and water and have all promised me they'll take any future storms much more seriously. Live and learn. Everyone thinks shit won't happen to them.
